I've never felt this way before
or connected with someone so much.
You are everything I want
and everything I'm afraid to lose.
Paranoia kicks in,
and my mind runs rampant.
It's consumed with thoughts
that you will never love me
as much as I love you.
Why would you ever love me
with all of my flaws?
I feel like a nuisance;
how long until you are tired of me?
This string of negativity
rush through my head
ad nauseum.
I let these words
flow from my eyes
until my heart settles.
A brief weeping calms me
enough to slow the pace
of these racing thoughts.
And I realize only time will tell
if you will reciprocate my feelings.
So I must practice patience
until I know if your heart will be mine.
